Clap Hands! Here Comes Charlie - Count Basie, Tony Bennett

Clap hands, here comes Charlie

Clap hands, good time Charlie

Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

This way, join the party

I say, meet McCarty

Hey, hey, Charlie take a bow

Ginger ale and white rock for his table

Grab a chair, move over there

And let him sit right next to Mabel

Clap hands, here comes Charlie

Clap hands, good time Charlie

Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

Clap hands, here comes Charlie

Clap hands, good time Charlie

Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

This way, meet The Dollies

I say, Zeigfield Follies

Hey Charlie, take a bow

See the smile on all those hungry faces

They can tell that he’s a buyer

From those wide and open spaces

Clap hands, here comes Charlie

Clap hands, good time Charlie

Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

See the smile on all those hungry faces

They can tell that he’s a buyer

From those wide and open spaces

Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

Clap hands, here comes Charlie

Clap hands, here comes Charlie

Clap hands, here comes Charlie

Clap hands, here comes Charlie, oh boy, yeah

Ginger ale and white rock for his table

Grab a chair, move over there

And let him wait

Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

Clap hands, here comes Charlie

Clap hands, good time Charlie

Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

This way, join the party

I say, meet McCarty

Hey, hey, Charlie take a bow

See the smile on all those hungry faces

They can tell that he’s a buyer

From those wide and open spaces

Clap hands, here comes Charlie

Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

He’s a big man with the ladies

And sail her with his doubt

When he starts to wail and holler, 'Go man go'

Oh boy, there was Charlie

What joy, swingin' Charlie

Clap hands, there goes Charlie now
